we are saving for her college education. more than anything, sheila and i want to be able to offer our daughter the life that all parents dream of. a life full of achievement and respect. however, when we suffer the unfair treatment of equity under the law, we cannot do that for her. currently, we pay tax on medical insurance. it is considered income for us, but not by couples who have full marriage equality. under the current law, our state is taxed as if we are giving a gift to a friend when in fact we work together to gain everything we have. our family exists and needs the rights and benefits that civil marriage provides. without these rights, my wife would have to pay inheritance tax on the life we built together should she outlive me. we would not be eligible to receive social security benefits when one of us passes away. we would cut the amount of monthly income in half. you know and i know that the bills do not get cut in half. this would come at a time in life when we should feel secure and proud of a life lived. th
